Nikki is a 2-year-old, male, flame, color-point Ragdoll who's vaccinated, neutered and box-trained. Nikki was rescued from wandering outside his apartment after his owner passed away. Now an indoor cat, friendly Nikki is really nice. He likes other cats and gets along with dogs. His beautiful blue eyes are slightly crossed. His temperament is calm and agreeable, though with his good looks you would expect him to be full of himself. Nikki is a polydactyl, meaning he has an extra toe on all four feet. He loves to be brushed and to stretch out up on a shelf or sometimes sleep at the foot of the bed.

Tilly is a 2-year-old, 45-pound Lab/Anatolian Shepherd blend who's spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She was at San Antonio Animal Care Services until CARE rescued her because the shelter staff reported that she was an absolute sweetheart in the kennels. Loveable Tilly is quiet and waits patiently for her for a walk. She walks wonderfully on a leash and won't pull you down the block. Tilly has a gentle personality and would make a great companion.

Cece is a 1-year-old, 33-pound Corgi mix who's spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. San Antonio Animal Care Services staff told CARE that she was one of their favorites and CARE rescued her. Cece is a short, stocky and absolutely adorable. Her little legs and perky ears are hard to resist. A foster home is giving her a chance to be safe so that all the potential adopters can find her. She like walks and would love to be in your lap.

Banyan is a 2-year-old, 60-pound black Lab mix who's neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. CARE rescued him from the San Antonio Animal Care Services. He's such a sweetheart and a total gentleman who loves other animals. Banyan also likes the outdoors, going for walks, and snuggling, no matter where.

Leo is a 1-year-old, 15-pound Chihuahua mix who's neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He's smart, adorable, loving and ready to go home with you. Leo is well on his way to being potty trained, and he loves going for car rides. He'll love keeping you company while you run errands, or while simply running and playing.

Sable is a 7-month-old, 32-pound soft-coated Wheaten terrier mix who's spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. She's loving, smart, sweet and attentive. Sable thrives on the companionship of people and will gravitate over to you just so she can be close to you. Sable will fit right in with a family where there's another dog in residence.

Murphy is a 1-year-old, 8-pound domestic shorthair who's neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He's a playful, energetic, adventuresome who'll happily share the limelight with any other cats in the family. But he wouldn't mind being the gentleman of the home. While you're away, Murphy will enjoy spending time exploring his surroundings and finding that special place to catch a catnap.

Jellybean is a 4-year-old, 19-pound Terrier mix who's spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. She's small enough to carry, yet has a great big heart full of love ready to share. Sweet, good-natured, friendly Jelly Bean does well with other dogs and walks nicely on a leash.

Lilly is a 9-month-old, 12-pound Rat Terrier mix who's neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. She's friendly, sweet, playful and ready for a warm-hearted family to spend her life with. Lilly does well with children and other dogs, and would love to be part of a fun-loving family.
